Hazardous Area Use With Broad Certifications

The Memosens CLS21E sensor is designed to operate reliably and safely, even in potentially hazardous environments. It is equipped with international explosion protection approvals, including ATEX (Europe), FM (North America), CSA (Canada), and NEPSI (China), among others. These certifications are critical for ensuring that the sensor can be safely installed and operated in areas where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts might be present, such as in chemical processing plants, offshore facilities, or certain industrial water treatment sites. The digital nature of the sensor, combined with its robust construction and adherence to these stringent safety standards, makes it a dependable choice for applications that demand both high performance and uncompromising safety, providing peace of mind in challenging operational settings.

Reliable Monitoring For Medium Conductivities

A core strength of the Memosens CLS21E lies in its ability to provide reliable and accurate measured values at medium conductivities, ensuring precise monitoring of water quality. This capability is fundamental for a wide range of applications where conductivity levels fall within a moderate range, typically from 10 µS/cm up to 20 mS/cm, as defined by its k=1 cell constant. The sensor’s conductive measuring principle, utilizing graphite electrodes, is well-suited for these conditions, offering consistent performance and stability. The accompanying quality certificate, which states the individual cell constant, further guarantees accurate measurement by allowing for precise calibration and adjustment of the system, ensuring that users can trust the data for critical process decisions and quality control measures, maintaining optimal operational standards.

Durable Design For Long Operating Life

The Memosens CLS21E is engineered with longevity and minimal maintenance in mind, making it an economical and practical choice for demanding applications. Its robust design ensures long durability, featuring a corrosion-free construction that resists degradation from various water chemistries. Additionally, the sensor exhibits high mechanical and chemical stability, allowing it to withstand physical stresses and chemical exposures commonly encountered in industrial water treatment and other related fields. This inherent resilience translates directly into a significantly extended operating life, reducing the frequency of sensor replacements and associated maintenance costs. The sensor shaft is constructed from PES (Polyethersulfone), a material known for its excellent chemical resistance and mechanical strength, further contributing to its reliable performance over time.

Memosens 2.0: Enhancing Data Integrity And Operation

At the heart of the CLS21E’s advanced functionality is the Memosens 2.0 technology. This sophisticated digital system fundamentally enhances both process and data integrity while simplifying operational tasks. The Memosens 2.0 protocol ensures a secure, non-contact inductive signal transmission, which virtually eliminates issues related to corrosion or signal drift often found in traditional wired connections, thereby maximizing process reliability. Crucially, the technology allows the sensor to store more process and calibration data internally. This capability is the bedrock for implementing effective predictive maintenance strategies, enabling early detection of performance trends and potential issues. It also provides the perfect foundation for seamless integration with IIoT services, paving the way for smarter, more connected, and data-driven operations in modern industrial environments.
